5 important questions pertaining to overall improvement in NREGA implementation narrowed down : How to track MRs in real time? How to fix accountability of JTAs? How to make record keeping simpler & more efficient? How to ensure timely wage payments? How to eliminate discretion enjoyed by Mates?

A thorough study of the existing system revealed the value of e-MRs in addressing all five questions.
